Samnang is ten years old and lives in Cambodia with her mother and younger brother. She helps take care of her younger brother at home, but more than anything Samnang enjoys going to school.
For years Samnang has had difficulty swallowing, making eating and drinking painful for her. She also has trouble breathing, especially at night, leaving her fatigued. A trip to the doctor revealed Samnang’s tonsils are growing and if not stopped, could reach a dangerous size. If untreated breathing difficulties will become much more severe for Samnang.
For $225 Samnang can have her tonsils removed. The procedure will elimnate pain and allow Samnang to get a full night’s rest so she can happily return to focusing on 5th grade.

Samnang received surgery to remove her tonsils.
The operation was a success! Samnang had her tonsils and adenoids removed, and was released the following day after a smooth post-op recovery. If left untreated, Samnang would have trouble breathing and infections in the future. Now, she will be able to eat and drink without pain. Thank you for improving this little girl’s quality of life!
Samnang, which means lucky in her native language, Khmer, did not come back for her follow-up appointment. Unfortunately, our medical partners were not able to contact Samnang, but we can assume she’s still doing well!
